Jarvis set the fastest time with a lap of 1 minute, 28.158 seconds around the 2.258-mile road course, with Hunter-Reay trailing by 0.064 seconds.
Simon Trummer (1 minute, 28.556 seconds) was third fastest in the No. 84 JDC-Miller Motorsports Cadillac DPi, followed by teammate Misha Goikhberg in fourth and Acura Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves in fifth.

The red flag came out once again halfway through the session when Will Hardeman went off course in the No. 19 Moorespeed Audi R8 LMS GT3, also in turn 12.
